Warner Bros. Animation announced today that it has teamed up with Cartoon Newtork for a revival of the much-loved 1980s animated series ThunderCats. The updated cartoon “will sport a heavy anime look, thanks to Warner Bros. Animation’s collaboration with Japan’s Studio4°C” (see promo pic above).

No word on an official premiere date, but the show is expected to begin airing sometime in 2011.

"Bleeding from three bites and wearing only the housecoat she had on to retrieve her newspaper, an elderly woman upended an attacking, rabies-crazed cat in the street in front of her home and, with her hand tight around its tail, beat the feline into submission against a nearby utility pole."
